I'm running Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS M2010. You'd think that these kind
of bugs would be worked out by the Microsoft Technicians by now. I've tried
a dozen times to install this one and got the same message. Also 3 hours out
of the box this machine wouldn't boot up. In the boot session I'd get a
message that said "Missing NTLDR File" Hit Control-Alt-Delete, of course
this did nothing. I called Dell and they wanted me to reload all the
software from scratch. This laptop was about $7,000.00 - reload your
software was NOT what I wanted to hear. After reading up on that problem it
seems they know why the problem is cropping up but seem to be doing nothing
about it. If it happens again I'm just going to put it back in the box and
send it back.

You didn't plug in a flash drive or USB drive did you?
They can cause the boot order to be out of order and cause the Missing NTLDR
File" error if they are boot able and the BIOS is set to boot from them
before the HD.
